** None of the firefighters wear turnout trousers to protect their legs, which may look like an error, but it's actually because Chicago didn't wear that gear until 2006. Instead, they wore a long coat and hip boots, or three-quarter boots. It was an older style of firefighting gear used in North America in most of the 20th century that consisted of a coat that went to the knees and a pair of rubber boots that had foldable sections that could be pulled up to the thigh. Most cities switched to modern gear in the 1990s, such as [[http://fdnysbravest.com/firephoto306.jpg New York City,]] which switched in 1994, and [[http://www.firenews.org/fires/b/boston/1980s/Boston011686Heath.jpg Boston,]] which switched a year later. Chicago was the last to switch.
** Due to the Chicago Fire Department's stubborn adherence to this type of protective equipment, firefighters colloquially refer to these boots as "Chicago Boots."
** Strangely enough, one thing the characters do manage to do wrong, especially Steven [=McCaffery=], leaves their boots rolled down inside burning buildings, a BIG no-no back when firefighters commonly wore this gear since it leaves the legs even less protected than they already inherently were with this type of gear.

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: Creator/RobertDeNiro put in an incredible amount of research for his role, speaking extensively with real CFD arson investigators and even had the shooting for his scenes delayed for a week so he could adequately prepare. Creator/RonHoward recalls being amazed at how De Niro showed up on set having combined the gait, speech patterns, and mannerisms of three real firefighters to create a fully-formed character. It was seeing this dedication to the craft that led Ron Howard to begin doing meticulous research, and encourage his actors to do the same, for all of his projects.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Brian and Jennifer sneak into the station after a date, and start having sex on top of the folded hoses in one of the trucks. Then, naturally, a call comes in, and they end up having to stop and get dressed, ''still on top of the truck'' as it's barreling through the streets of Chicago. They almost get away with it too, but Jennifer's bra gets left tangled around the hose, and [[FindingABraInYourCar found by one of the firefighters]] when they arrive at the fire. Brian leans over the side of the truck, and gives an embarrassed wave.
